The 2026 Dodge Charger is a muscle car dressed in a sedan's suit, but it’s not quite nimble enough for tight corners.
550-hp turbocharged engine · Roomy, upscale interior
Feels heavy in tight corners · Buggy software issues
The 2026 Dodge Charger is defined by its brute strength and unmistakable presence. With 550 horses under the hood, courtesy of the Hurricane Twin-Turbo I6, this beast roars to life the moment you punch the throttle. The interior is a pleasant surprise, featuring a blend of upscale materials and modern tech that finally brings the Charger into the 21st century. However, this muscle-bound heavyweight feels every bit of its size when the road starts to twist. It's more suited to straight-line sprints than dancing through canyon roads. If you're someone who craves raw power and can appreciate the Charger’s brawny charm, this is your ride.
Our pick: Daytona R/T AWD ($55,917)
vs. 2026 BMW 5 Series: The BMW 5 Series offers a more refined, nimble driving experience, but the Charger has it beat in raw power and character.
